How are they going to do the Tourney this year?  Give a first round bye to the first 9 teams and have the seeds 10 thru 15 play on Tuesday, 10 vs. 15, 11 vs. 14 and 12 vs. 13?

No UCONN in the tourney this year, so it's a field of 14. 

Other then that, everything you said holds.  Top 10 get a bye to Wed.  11 v. 14, and 12 v. 13 on Tue.

You are correct, forgot UCONN banned from Tourney.

10 teams with a bye doesnt make sense. 11, 12, 13, 14 games on tuesday would narrow the field down to 12. 12 would go to 6. 6 to 3. Thats a problem.

When you are down to 12-top4 have second bye and 5-12 eliminate 4 and you are down to 8. Not sure how they are doing it though.

They never play more than 4 games per day (well they played five many years ago) so work it backwards assuming that top seeds always win:

Saturday:   Seeds 1-2 in finals
Friday:    Seeds 1-4 in Semifinals
Thursday  Seeds 1-8 in quarter finals
Wednesday:  Seeds 5-12 in second round (1-4 receive bye)
Tuesday:  Seeds 11-14 in first round (1-10 receive bye)
